Unfortunately, our former presidents supporters didn’t understand a word and are still going to bet on their willful ignorance.
Sew a snippet of this on NBC News last night. Seemed ok from what I saw. Kinda more or the same I guess. Same with Trump. More of the same.
I cannot begin to fathom the mental gymnastics required to see this or any other Kamala speech yet still consider Trump to be the better leader. Likewise how can you watch one of Kamala’s talks, even 30secs worth, yet still believe Trump’s version of her as a word salad rabid commie? It’s just not at all reasonable.
> In a video, the president referred to Sunday's rhetoric as "Garbage," and the GOP and its flying monkeys insisted that the president had referred to the former president*'s supporters as "Garbage." Oooh! A "Deplorables" moment! The popinjay political press-Axios and, inevitably, Tiger Beat on the Potomac-gleefully glommed onto the meretricious barbering of what the president said.
> Sitting about 1,000 feet behind her in the White House, President JOE BIDEN was busy undoing all of that, handing Republicans fuel to undermine that argument precisely one week before the first votes get counted.
I’m impressed that she was able to keep her speech going and stay focused despite the protesters in the background blasting an annoying siren during the first half.
did they hand-transcribe the speech? because in that first passage….that is not how you spell “cede”, and in fact would mean pretty much the opposite of the misspelled version they used of “seed”.
how about just a _little_ proofreading when discussing a topic of this magnitude? please?
Trump Eclipsed at Ellipse.
The speech was meh in terms of delivery. There were some gems yes and great sections but I feel she isn’t a natural on the public speaking. But in terms of Symbolism it’s an A+.
The double standard is astonishing. Harris is working her ass off and SO much better at this – discipline, clarity, eloquence. Meanwhile Trump is riding around on garbage trucks, hosting racist comedy hours, rambling incoherent nonsense or just giving up and dancing around stage for 40 minutes…. 🤦🏻♀️
What will upset democrat voters more? Trump winning? Or their life being perfectly fine under a Trump presidency?

She gave a fantastic speech and really hit strongly on the start and finish. The middle seemed to be prime real estate for clipping her multiple points and sharing to social media. Campaign knows what it’s doing, and regardless of the outcome, it wasn’t due to a bad campaign or bad speech, it is solely on the american people to make the right choice.
A deeply reactionary speech, but par for the course for Democrats, I think.
> Nearly 250 years ago, America was born when we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant.
Identifying as “we” even though the vast majority of her crowd would have been disenfranchised when the country was founded. Unless you’re a rich landlowning white guy, there is no “we” when it comes to the founding.
She continues this conflation of the ruling class and everyone else below:
> Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom, expanded it, and in so doing proved to the world that **a government of, by, and for the people is strong and can endure**. And those who came before us…**on farmlands, and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives only to see us seed our fundamental freedoms. They didn’t do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant.**
Labor organizers and civil rights activists were spied on, shot, deported, and locked up by the U.S. government. And continue to be. That government has a lot of work to do before talking about “us”. She wants to claim Stonewall while giving a state’s rights argument about trans people? *Oof*
> We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths—that all of us are created equal —is the star that guides us still…to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that **our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.**
This universalism, from the same party that refused to let a single Palestinian on the main stage at the DNC while letting multiple fascists speak.
The “shining city on a hill” worldview espoused in this speech is an ideological castle, built on the sand of selective historical memory and American solipsism. That these ideas are received positively and credibly by liberals is damning.
If it were a state of the union it would go down as one of the best
She stood up to this moment in history, and is owning it. She will make a wonderful president.
Yes, she has brilliant speech writers and can read quite well. Too bad she can’t sound this competent during interviews or when her teleprompter malfunctions

She looks great

Edit: spelling
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a62765995/kamala-harris-ellipse-speech/) reduced by 84%. (I’m a bot)

Shits dope, particularly the end
